So - that said, I'm starting my research in to how much HP I want. Unfortunately, the folks at Hennessy won't even give me any tips. So, they're out of the running. Period. There are a few reputable speed shops in the Austin area and that's my next stop.
I'll be happy with 540-ish HP to the rear wheels. My intention is also to put 305's on the rear in order to handle the additional thrust.
Now the research starts in earnest.

You're gonna need more than 305's to handle the additional "thrust".
Putting down that power effectively will most likely require
1)stronger clutch & flywheel upgrade
2)more robust LSD
3)the aforementioned cooling systems
That's several grand alone but is very useful in actually getting the power to the ground, even on a stock block.
